The hockey thread

And why Boston wanted Benoit Pouliot is beyond me...

Boston needs more French Canadiens...lol

Seriously tho...6'-3" / 200lb / 24 yr old with edge, skill and a one yr contract. Boston will turn this kid into a potential monster!

Doubt that. He was the 4th overall pick in 2005 and he has done nothing. Yeah he's got skill, but there is no consistency what so ever.

Dany Heatley's career is officially down the drain. Minnesota will be mediocre for a long time, probably until he quits playing. The Sharks was his chance to win the cup. Havlat is good return for Heatley, as the Sharks are now faster and cheaper (and probably a tad more clutch in the playoffs).

I recall Bruins play by play guy Jack Edwards calling Pouliot the greatest player never to live up to his draft potential lol. This after Pouliot took a major cheapshot at a Bruin player this past season.

I was thinking along the lines of the Bruins utilizing his size...make him more of a grittier player with some offense maybe thrown in...who knows?

Three of the best czech hockey players just died in a plane crash, among other players from different countries.

this is damn insane...

 

[Blind Guardian]

That's awful. One of Sweden's best goalies was on there too. Not that it matters how good players they happened to be.

Unbelievable. The entire Lokomotive team wiped out, save for one player.

What are you talking about?



And yeah definitely sucks about the KHL team...alot of great players have died. R.I.P.

He'll probably die...He's apparently got burns over 80% of his body...If he survives it'll be a miracle...Not that I want him to die, but honestly, If I get burned like that put me out of my misery...

What are you talking about?

Talking about when Pouliot took a major run at and cheap-shotted I think Andy Ferrence at the time. I remember the game...the Bruin announcer went ape-shit and over-the-top on Pouliot after the hit. Its kinda odd / funny now that he is a Bruin...thats all.

I agree with you, at least in theory. Hopefully we'll never get to experience that. But I guess it's up to his wife and/or other relatives to decide if he lives or dies if it turns out he'll never regain consciousness.

 

[SweptbackFlame]

So the the injuries he's sustained was too hard to overcome, the guy died

What do you think about these Devils bankruptcy rumours?

The new HBO 24/7, love it.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

so far I've failed on Bergy. dude needs to wake the fuck up!

 

[SweptbackFlame]

Dude what the fuck is up with the US @ the World Junior Championships, this is just baffling me, it's like they don't even care...3-0 Canada after 1...I mean I was expecting a closer game.

I saw the roster and barely knew anyone, I was able to follow it better being held in Buffalo...but this year i'm out of touch, wondering what youngsters are in the NHL who didn't go, maybe that's why we suck.

I know Zucker & Jarred Tinordi (who has been hands down there best player since the tourny started) & of course Jack Campbell and he's had a terrible tournament.
